UN confirmed the legitimacy of Zelensky
UN Secretary-General spokesman Stéphane Dujarric condemned Donald Trump’s claim that Volodymyr Zelensky is an "illegitimate" President of Ukraine and a "Dictator". The United Nations believes that Zelensky is legally in his position.
"President Zelensky is in his position after duly held elections," he said.
As a reminder, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, spoke harshly about the Ukrainian leader, Volodymyr Zelensky. He called him a "Dictator without Elections".
In addition, Trump emphasized the need to hold elections, allegedly because Zelensky’s support among Ukrainians is less than 4%. According to him, there is an urgent need to re-elect the government.
Volodymyr Zelensky responded to Donald Trump’s statement about Ukrainians’ distrust. According to him, the poll results show that 57% of citizens currently trust the Ukrainian leader. Moreover, according to the Constitution, elections are not held during martial law.
